Top Culture in Cartago Province

I think exploring the ruins with a guide is worth it, as you’ll get insightful history that you won’t find in brochures or signs.

Check the weather ahead of time and bring an umbrella or poncho if there's a chance of rain; the ruins can get slippery and it's no fun if you get soaked!

I recommend visiting early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and get the best photos without too many people in the background.

Bring some snacks and water, as there aren’t many food options nearby; it will save you time and a bit of cash

I really enjoyed the exhibits, but I suggest budgeting at least 1.5 to 2 hours to soak it all in—you don’t want to rush through. Also, the little gift shop has some cool local crafts; it's a nice way to support local artists!
